These fluffy cottage cheese pancakes are creamy, tender, and just sweet enough, perfect for a cozy breakfast topped with honey and fresh berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, whole or 2% (dairy-free options like almond milk are fine)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (organic cane sugar preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for the pan (unsalted butter recommended)
  • Honey for drizzling (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries; frozen berries can be used)

Instructions

  1. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, milk, and vanilla extract until combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil to coat the pan.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  7. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  9. Serve stacked pancakes drizzled with honey and topped with fresh berries.

Notes

Blend cottage cheese smoothly for fluffiest texture. Avoid overmixing batter to keep pancakes tender. Use medium heat to prevent burning. Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while cooking the rest. Adjust batter consistency with milk or flour as needed.
